Key Words Hepatitis A; Cholestatic hepatitis; Acute acalculous cholecystitis; Ascites
Core Tip We showed that most cases of hepatitis A (HA) 30/115 (26.08%) can occur with atypical symptoms that require longer hospitalization. Most cases occur in patients with higher serum bilirubin levels, gamma-glutamyl transferase levels, and persistent icterus. High serum bilirubin levels and their prolonged retention, as well as the thickening of the gallbladder wall, can be perceived as prognostic signs of a possible transition into an atypical clinical course for the patient with HA. Atypical manifestations such as prolonged cholestasis and acute acalculous cholecystitis are not uncommon in children with HA.
